I did look at the games of your post. It is not the point though. I will let you know what I can make of Polgar's N! in a while. Sometimes a loss in a new variation does make it impopular. Let's turn around and expose as much as we can of the truth. For the moment, my Hiarcs is dissecating the game. So, more later.

If I may, I am still looking for games with 6....g5.

There is a Yearbook Survey on the 4.Bc6 bc6 5.0-0 e5 6.c3 variation in YB 85 by Palliser, which is well worth studying if you own it/can borrow a copy. 

6...g5 appears dubious based on the Kasparov-Polgar, Eurotel rapid 2002 game you quoted, but both 6...f5 and 6...Nf6 are improvements which should result in equality.

For example, the games Moser-Kosintseva, Dresden 2007 and Jones-Baramidze, Halkidiki 2003 and Rublevsky-Alekseev, Poikovsky 2007 are good examples of how to play 6...Nf6 as Black. 

Regarding 6...f5, Naudier-Riff, Besancon 2006 and Wippermann-Miroshnichenko, Bundesliga 2005/06 are the key games - particularly the second game, where Miroshnichenko's 8...e4!? is very interesting. 

It was almost 1.5 years since the afore-mentioned survey was published, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of these conclusions has been overturned.
  

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

Hello,

     While looking for ideas against the anti-Najdorf 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+ ; I decided on the more agressive 3....Nc6 (B51). 

The play is very fluid and will suits player of manoeuvre after 4.0-0 Bd7 5.Re1 Nf6 6.c3 a6 7.Bf1 Bg4 and so on. No structural weakness, a fight for the center.

The gambit 7.Bxc6 Bxc6 8.d4 Bxe4 is also a welcome option for black.

So, remained 4.Bxc6+ ; altering the pawn structure. After 4....bxc6 5.0-0 e5 6.c3 ; Grischuk 6....f5 did not appailed to me as being too loosening. Otherwise, white with a push of d4, opening the center, both black doubled c  pawns would be cause of concerns. 

Comes J.Polgar (as black) against Kasparov : 6....g5 (!?). As I understand it it was a rapid game, but what a game.
